Real issue behind need for retail lockboxes ignored. Don't make excuses.
After reading James E. Causey's piece regarding retail and the need to lock things up, I thought that I would offer up my own personal insight ('Retail theft is on the rise,' May 18). I have worked in retail in some capacity for the last 18 plus years and have seen the changes that have led to more and more things being locked up, sad as it may be. (While he does not condone stealing, Causey mentioned situations where he has sympathy when it comes to essential items), whether it was food stamps not covering as much as a person would like or seniors and their pricey drugs, and that made me think. I tried to remember how many times in my 18 years did I see someone steal who actually needed it, and the answer is once. One time I saw, along with my boss, a young mother try to empty the contents of a can of formula into a bag because she couldn't afford it. My boss at the time stopped her, told her that there were options available and then paid for a new can for her and her child. One time, so in Causey's world that would be justified. Opinion: Retail theft is on the rise. How come we never talk about the real reasons why? But to the person who stole a floor display of Doritos, do we justify his nacho cheese cravings? Or to the person who stole 40 bottles of Tide, do we justify his need to either have his clothes extra clean or to have a side hustle? Or to the diaper girls who stole three carts full of diapers, do we justify wanting to change diapers more often than normal? Or to the man who stole 20 bottles of body wash, do we justify his need to want to be "Zest fully" clean? Also, the lock boxes, locking doors and security measures are not free. The company has to pay for them, as well as the cost of the items that have been stolen. I will agree that, yes, the bigger issue at hand is being ignored here, but not the one that Causey thinks. The issue at hand is not who the president is or whether or not needing security is racist, which it isn't, but rather the issue is why we have allowed people to bring us to this point where things need to be locked up and why we make excuses or justify the actions of some over others.
